The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded a $1,875,000 Cooperative Agreement to Ohio University under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program to develop a process for rendering the treatment of oil and gas produced water for beneficial use economically feasible. The key objective is to characterize produced water from specific sites, including the Marcellus and Utica shale regions, and develop an effective treatment process utilizing coal- and waste coal-derived materials. This project will also involve a sub-award to Giner Inc. to provide expertise in developing electrochemical sensors for monitoring high-value metals and minerals in the produced water, treated water, and concentrated brine streams. The award period is from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025.
